Getting started with the STEVAL-ASTRA1B multiconnectivity asset tracking
reference design based on STM32WB5MMG and STM32WL55JC
Introduction
The ASTRA platform (STEVAL-ASTRA1B) is a development kit and reference design that simplifies prototyping, testing and
evaluating advanced asset tracking applications such as livestock monitoring, fleet management, and logistics.
The kit consists of four boards (not available for separate sale): STEVAL-ASTRA1 (main board), STEVAL-ASTRA1SB (system
on board), STEVAL-ASTRA1BC (expansion board) and STEVAL-ASTRA1NA (flexible NFC antenna).
It comes with comprehensive software, firmware libraries, tools, battery, and plastic case. Thanks to its modular and optimized
design, it simplifies the development of tracking and monitoring innovative solutions.
The
STEVAL-ASTRA1B
is built around the
STM32WB5MMG
module and the
STM32WL55JC
SoC for short and long range
connectivity (BLE, LoRa, and 2.4 GHz and sub 1-GHz proprietary protocols).
ST25DV64K
for NFC connectivity is also available.
The on-board
STSAFE-A110
enhances security features.
The kit embeds a complete set of environmental and motion sensors (LIS2DTW12, LSM6DSO32X, HTS221, STTS22H,
LPS22HH). Moreover, the
Teseo-LIV3F
GNSS module provides outdoor positioning.
The power management, built around
ST1PS02
and STBC03, is optimized for long battery life.
